Thursday Night Football: Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans

Thursday Night Football: Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans

Week 12 of the 2025 season kicks off with an AFC matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans. The Bills are coming off a disappointing 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Texans have won three of their last four games, despite starting QB C.J. Stroud not playing in the last two due to a concussion from Week 9. Davis Mills will get the start again, and try for three in a row. Josh Allen and the Bills are highly motivated to not let that happen. Buffalo is currently 1.5 games behind the New England Patriots, and need...

NFL Week 12 latest buzz, questions, news and fantasy tips

Graziano: As for Daniels, the Commanders have a bye this week and will examine everything. They’ve lost six games in a row to drop to 3-8 in what looked like a promising season, and there has been external debate about whether it makes sense to bring back Daniels at all this season. From what I’ve been told, the plan in Washington is still that Daniels will return to the starting lineup once doctors clear him from his elbow injury.

Washington Commanders Roster Moves: WR returns; Safety released

Washington Commanders Roster Moves: WR returns; Safety released

The Washington Commanders announced a pair of practice squad moves this morning. Wide receiver Jacoby Jones made his NFL debut in Madrid, Spain after he was signed from the practice squad for the game against the Miami Dolphins. He caught his first pass, a 25-yarder for a 1st down on his only target during the game. Jones was then released to make room on the 53-man roster for Daron Payne who was returning from a 1-game suspension.

Jones cleared waivers and has been re-signed to the Commanders practice squad as expected. He will be eligible to be elevated two more...

Mike Sainristil’s unlikely path to the NFL added a special significance to the Commanders’ trip to Spain before an on-field mistake proved costly

The trip had a bitter ending for Sainristil, who muffed a punt late in the fourth quarter of the Commanders’ 16-13 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in the NFL’s first game in Spain, but the hour he had spent teaching the sport he loves to children in a foreign country resonated. He could relate to those kids.

Sainristil, 25, was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He...

Quan Martin’s struggles may be catching up with him

As the Commanders search for the right roster pieces in the final stretch of games, the defensive snap count data against the Miami Dolphins told a story out of the ordinary for this season. Quan Martin played a season low 38 snaps against the Dolphins Sunday, as head coach Dan Quinn would initially describe as “just a change in personnel.” From a percentage standpoint, Quan played 66 percent of snaps, but Quinn went slightly further in depth, saying that there were “some corrections that had to be made,” and while he didn’t go into specifics with the corrections with Martin,...

Future Hogs – Week 12: A look at college football players who could help the Washington Commanders

The SEC matchups made for the most interesting storylines of Week 12. Alabama suffered its first loss in conference in a close contest where Oklahoma kept the Crimson Tide’s talented receivers in check. Oklahoma moved up in the playoff rankings, but Alabama is still in the playoff picture at #10. Georgia erupted for 21 points in the fourth quarter to dispatch Texas and send them falling out of the playoff rankings. Not only did this win move Georgia to #4 in the playoff rankings, but it allowed Utah to replace Texas as the #12 team. Texas A&M was on upset...

NFL Fantasy Football Week 12: The Playoffs Beckon

Welcome back for another round of fantasy football ramblings. Hopefully, if you’re still following along, it’s because you are anticipating a playoff run and trying to find the right keys to unlock a championship. (I can certainly vouch for having teams in different positions down the stretch, from a Friends & Family League team that has already clinched a first-round playoff bye at 10-1, leaving a month of results that only matter for bragging rights before a Week 16 that actually matters, to a superflex league team that is desperately scrounging the likes of Tyler Shough for a second QB...

Commanders cut Matt Gay after two more misses, sign Jake Moody

Washington signed Gay to a lucrative one-year deal in the offseason, hoping to solve what has been an ongoing issue. Instead, he is out and Moody, 25, is in.

Gay, 31, made just 13 of his 19 field goal attempts and particularly struggled from beyond 50 yards, from which he had missed more attempts (five) than he had made (four) through 10 games.

It will now be Moody’s turn.

The 25-year-old has spent the better part of the season in...
